{"product_id":"hoop-roots-9780618257751","title":"Hoop Roots","description":"A multilayered memoir of basketball, family, home, love, and race, John Edgar Wideman's Hoop Roots brings a touch of Proust to the blacktop (Time) as it tells of the author's love for a game he can no longer play. Beginning with the scruffy backlot playground he discovered in Pittsburgh some fifty years ago, Wideman works magical riffs that connect black music, language, culture, and sport. His voice modulates from nostalgic to outraged, from scholarly to streetwise, in describing the game that has sustained his passion throughout his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-367445\"\u003eJohn Edgar Wideman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.53w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618257751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618257756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO002000\"\u003eCultural, Ethnic \u0026amp; Regional | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42670213300461,"sku":"9780618257751","price":20.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c17ebe80-31b6-43d0-be1a-625a04daae1a.jpg?v=1649490120","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/hoop-roots-9780618257751","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
